Qatar PM Slams Netanyahu as 'War Criminal'; Bennett Calls Emir 'Terrorist in a Suit'
Qatar's Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani stated in an interview with Piers Morgan that the United States notified Doha of its military actions against Iran approximately 30 minutes before they commenced. He indicated that Qatar was informed of the impending American military movements shortly before their launch, amidst a significant regional escalation concerning confrontations with Iran.
During the same interview, Al Thani sharply criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, labeling him a "war criminal." He also asserted that the Gaza Strip is currently experiencing "war crimes and genocide."
Al Thani also addressed statements made by Naftali Bennett, leader of the "Achieving" party, who had previously described Qatar as an "enemy state." The Qatari Prime Minister rejected these remarks.
In response to Al Thani's comments, Bennett adopted a harsh tone, calling the Qatari Prime Minister a "terrorist in a suit." Bennett further vowed to work towards "removing you from Israel and from Gaza."
These exchanges occur amid ongoing tensions between Israel and Qatar. These tensions stem from Qatar's stance on the Gaza war, its role in communications and mediations related to Palestinian issues, and disagreements over Qatar's position regarding the regional confrontation with Iran.
